Jack Skeat fails to become a poet; his charismatic and reckless friend Rex Petley takes that recognition. When a mystery surrounds Rex, Jack reconstructs the landscapes of his childhood, from Wellington to Auckland, to find out if his friend is hiding something dark, perhaps a murder.
Set in New Zealand, the work was originally published in 1992; this edition appeared on 10 January 1994.
For general readers looking for a story of intrigue with a marked New Zealand setting.
